Hot on the heels of the lucrative sale of a 12-year-old aframax this month, Eastern Mediterranean Maritime (Eastmed) revealed that it has offloaded one of its oldest tankers.
A manager at the Thanassis Martinos-led company confirmed broker reports earlier this week that it had agreed to sell the scrubber-fitted 308,900-dwt VLCC Birdie (built 2005) for $52.5m.
No indication of the buyer or the precise timing of the sale was disclosed.
